Sage previously announced that as of December 31, 2012, we will no longer support updates, including the TTU, to version 4.3. However, due to the new 2013 Medicare requirements, Sage will provide you with a 2013-Q1 TTU and a 2012 IRD in December.

The 2013-Q1 Tax Table Update, the 2012 IRD, and the 2013 941 form update (941 update is released in March 2013) are the last updates that will be released for version 4.30. You must upgrade to a more current version of software in order to receive future updates. Please see Supported Versions.
